Critics of wikis as research sources often point to the potential for students to stumble
across inaccurate content as a fatal flaw that make wikis almost worthless. “How can we
promote wikis in our classrooms,” the argument goes, “if you can’t trust what’s posted
there? I don’t want my students exposed to learning tools that are just plain wrong!”
Teachers using wikis successfully in their classrooms, however, embrace inaccurate content posted on classroom wikis as a teachable moment because they know that succeeding as consumers of information in the 21st Century requires students to develop a healthy skepticism of any content posted online. In a world where content is constantly changing and publishing is easy for anyone, researchers simply cannot assume that
digital sources—wikis, blogs, websites, online videos—are accurate and up-to-date.
Wikis give teachers built in opportunities to teach lessons about the reliability of online content to students. Errors—which are inevitable in student projects—can be spotlighted and corrected, and students can be introduced to strategies for identifying content worth trusting.

# Turn social bookmarking and page annotation into effective learning tools (for example by including peer-assessment features).
# Allow users to easily compile personal e-portfolios (for example, by combining their own works — photos, comments, articles—with testimonials others have written about them).
# Let the browser suggest relevant materials (for example, by automatically identifying additional articles based on what sites a person visit or which topics they search for).
# Support social learning communities (for example, by making it easy to find and connect with others who share similar learning interests).
